“White Cliffs of Dover” makes me tear up every time.
My dad was flying missions over Germany, his sweetheart waiting stateside for “tomorrow when the world is free.”
Her songs brought hope.

“does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?....remember how she said....”
On VE Day +50 [1995], she sang White Cliffs of Dover from the balcony of Buckingham Palace. The crowd that gathered outside the gate [1 million +] ALL sang it with her.
Very touching ...
